  • Title: [A case of renal cell carcinoma which was left untouched for five years].

    Abstract:
    We report a case of bilateral synchronous renal cancers for which only right radical nephrectomy was performed at another hospital. Five years later we performed partial nephrectomy (enucleation) for the left renal cancer. By computed tomographic scans we studied the radiological change of this tumor which occurred during a five-year period. We found a slow doubling time of this tumor. Three years after enucleation, tumor recurrence was noticed and we performed left partial nephrectomy with a normal parenchymal margin. We reviewed the literature about enucleation of renal cancer.
